What in the world is a TiddlyWiki?

TiddlyWiki is an ingenious free application that is ideal for taking and organizing notes, organizing to-do lists, and even managing small personal databases. It is basically an html file (a webpage) stuffed with special code that allows you to create small snippets of information called Tiddlers. These tiddlers can be linked by tags and hyperlinks, and tucked away. When you need them again, you can use a search window, your own personalized tables of contents, or any number of handy tiddler indexes to find them quickly. Think of TiddlyWiki as an easily-searchable catalog of 3x5 cards and post-it notes all linked together in one file.

You don't need to buy a program to use TiddlyWiki. It is an html file that you can read and edit using nothing more than your Internet browser. And you don't need to be online to use TiddlyWiki. You can quickly download any TiddlyWiki to your computer to use offline. You can then take it with you wherever you go, on a USB memory stick (called a “Wiki on a Stick”) and edit it on any computer that has a relatively recent web browser, preferably Mozilla’s free browser Firefox.

TiddlyWikis were invented by Jeremy Ruston. His site, with the original documentation and other information, can be found at http://www.tiddlywiki.com/.

OK that first paragraph is probably the gayest sounding paragraph ever written about something that didn’t actually involve homosexuals. Tiddlywike, tiddler, tiddlysnip?! Who came up with these names? And have they come out to their family yet?

I didn't write that original piece....I am just a guy looking for help in coping with all that I encounter here on FREEREPUBLIC.......

I’d wait for something with a straight name, just in case. Really whenever I’m doing web digging for something I just use Notepad, little bit of ctrl-C and ctrl-V with the passage and the link takes care of business. I don’t believe in to-do lists but if I did I’ve got Outlook, and Access takes care of the personal database thing the rare times I think I need one. And since I work for a MS-shop with the work at home license it’s all free me. I suppose this thing could be good, but I’m just not ready to embrace a tiddler at this point.

Nah...that'd be Topsy-Turvy TiddlyWiki.

You know, I read the article you posted, didn’t understand it, read the humorous replies ... and then I went to the site, read about it, and downloaded the application.

I must say this is one of the coolest applications I have ever seen. I downloaded the Snip applet and it just plain rocks.

Thank you!!!
